It includes nearly $29 billion for natural disaster relief and over $6 billion for the resettlement of Afghan refugees, and would fund the government through Dec. 3, giving lawmakers more time to compromise on a broader funding package for the 2022 fiscal year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is not a long-term solution,\u201d Connecticut Democratic Rep. Rosa DeLauro, the chair of the House Appropriations Committee, said on the floor. \u201cIt simply allows additional time for bicameral, bipartisan negotiations on a final year bill for fiscal year 2022.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The measure, however, is all but certain to die in the Senate. Republicans are <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/09\/15\/think-im-bluffing-mitch-mcconnell-doubles-down-against-debt-ceiling-raise-government-shutdown\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">staunchly opposed<\/a> to supporting a debt ceiling increase, arguing that Democrats should raise it on their own given their congressional majorities.<\/p>\n<p>But Democrats have refused to raise it on their own, omitting an increase from their filibuster-proof reconciliation bill and instead putting it in the government funding package. They argue that since they raised it while former President Donald Trump was in office and Republicans controlled Congress, and since recent government spending has been overwhelmingly bipartisan, that Republicans should have a responsibility to lift it as well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis has always been bipartisan,\u201d House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on the floor. \u201cNot everybody on every side of the aisle has voted for it, but nobody would let it fail.\u201d <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/09\/13\/congress-barrels-toward-debt-ceiling-catastrophe-janet-yellen-chuck-schumer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">(RELATED: Congress Barrels Toward Debt Ceiling Catastrophe As Shutdown Looms)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7287127\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" readability=\"34\">\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-7287127\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Republicans, led by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell have repeatedly said that they will not vote for a debt ceiling increase.

Elissa Slotkin. \u201cWhatever your views on the Israeli-Pal conflict, using a system that just saved hundreds, if not thousands, of lives as a political chit is problematic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Democrats do plan to put the provision in the National Defense Authorization Act, set to pass with a wide bipartisan majority of the House voting in favor. The House also prepared to pass a bill enshrining abortion access into federal law, though it faces the same fate as the funding bill in the Senate.<\/p>\n<p>Content created by The Daily Caller News Foundation is available without charge to any eligible news publisher that can provide a large audience.
